I’m a PE ops VP at a larger fund. Currently making $350k cash comp with about $1M carry at work per fund. Realistically, what would I be looking at in terms of cash/carry comp increase if I were to be promoted up one level (one below partner).

Don't take this the wrong way, just curious. What does an ops role do at a larger fund that allows them to earn carry? Are you basically AM and overseeing business plan execution? I work at a boutique and handle acq and AM work so when I think ops I think back office processing like in IB

Is this common for PE Ops? I usually think PE Ops = inhouse consulting but not operators unless at MD level

How big is your latest fund and AUM?

like

This is key as a driver for cash and carry compensation (and sector too - for example real estate and infrastructure pay less)

My guess is that OP is more MM/LMM and low single digital billion in AUM

I work in PE ops (VP, 11 YOE) and like my firm a lot but am falling below the benchmark averages. Any tips on negotiations with current employer to increase?

MM

@OP, Is it $1M carry each year you receive? Or $1M over the life of a fund?

Oh OK 👍🏾. Sounds good 👌🏾

Looking into this space and it’s all over the map but generally on cash comp

VP: $400K base and bonus (I see this as being a bit lower for folks just entering the space and then ramping up to $400K on average and more as you reach the next level)
Operating Principal: $600K base and bonus

Carry all over the place but the report above was the best resource.

Sources: Report above plus some other data points from my network.

Happy to hear from others as well

Do you think its feasible to move from Big 4 Consulting Director to PE Ops VP?

Any insights for the UK?

Excuse the ignorance but what is Carry?

Carry or carried interest is the GP’s share of fund profits after LPs have received their returns over a specific hurdle rate.
